    Laundry Prices

    I may be wrong, but that looks like the alburgue at Hotel San Anton Abad in Villafranca Montes De Oca. I remember having to walk down a grassy slope to get to those clothes lines, and it was agony as my feet were basically 2 large blisters at that stage lol. I ended up getting the bus to Burgos...

    Fire Safety in Albergues

    Slightly off topic, but I'd like to assure you all that I know of at least 1 alburgue that has amazing smoke alarms. Le Chemin Vers L'Etoile in St Jean Pied De Port has the loudest smoke alarms I've ever heard. I know this because, on my recent Camino, I accidentally set the alarms off😆, as I...

    How common are double bed bunks on the CF?

    Yes, things have definitely changed in O Cebreiro since you were there. This photo was taken in the municipal a few weeks ago, 4 single beds (only 3 are visible in my picture) in a HUGE room. Tbh, it was my coldest night on the whole Camino and I WISH there had been 20 other people in that...

    Carrión de los Condes - Albergue capacity

    Thanks Gerald, Buen Camino. From a fellow Irish person

    Carrión de los Condes - Albergue capacity

    Do you mind explaining what is meant by 'everyone is avoiding the places they can't book'? Does this mean that all the beds that can be booked online/via telephone are getting booked in advance, and the places where booking is not possible are no-where near full, because everyone that wanted a...

    If You Don't Like Cow Poop- Stay out of the Countryside

    A cockerel lives straight across the road from my house, and there is a stable with 2 or 3 horses, and numerous dogs. It is maybe 50mtrs away. There is a field with cows moo-ing not 75mtrs away. I don't think I could sleep WITHOUT the animal noises tbh, they comfort me. I live at the very edge...

    The Red Bull race on the Primitivo

    I have a friend who is an ultra/mountain marathon runner, and he is planning to run the Camino Frances in the next year or 2. Don't worry, he is NOT sponsored by redbull (or anyone else for that matter😁). He's just a bit crazy, and enjoys long distance running. No details are finalised yet, but...

    Save the Las Herrerias horses.

    Great info, thanks. I will book when I'm within a day or 2 of Las Herrerias. Yet another thing to look forward to.

    Save the Las Herrerias horses.

    This is one of the only firm plans I have for my September Camino. I really would love to ride one of these horses up to O'Cebreiro,and I'm happy to read that they are well taken care of. As I child, I really wanted horse riding lessons. I never got them, due to an unfortunate case of...

    LIVE from the Camino On the Frances now.

    That's so disappointing. Where are you flying from?

    September Frances

    Oh wow, you are getting a lot more training done than me. I do 10km pavement walking most Vaccine went great, thanks. Got it a week ago, and didn't even feel the needle OR get sick afterwards. Oh wow, you are getting a lot more training done than me. I'm walking 7-10k most days, but that is...

    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    Hi Meazara. Yes I am, planning to go all the way from SJPdP to Finisterre, so we will surely meet. I am flying Dublin to Biarritz on 31st Aug, ready to start walking the following day. Only 8 weeks to go😬

    microfiber towel poncho

    Oooooh, that might do the job, and its a lot lighter (300g, rather than almost 500g) than the surfing poncho I was considering, and I won't look as silly. I might order this instead. Thank you.

    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    I'm a fellow pale skinned Irish female, and will be starting my first Camino on 1st September. I lost my job yesterday, and would love to go immediately, but need to wait as there is no way my skin will be able to handle the heat. On the plus side, having no job means I can spend the next 2...

    microfiber towel poncho

    This was something I have been wondering about also. I have already purchased a microfibre towel, but it's TINY. It was the largest one available, and it still wouldn't go even half way around my body (I'm a UK size 14, ladies), so I had actually considered buying a microfibre poncho myself...
